OUR
kind Heavenly Father, it would be presumption for us to thus address Thee were
it not for the cross upon which the Prince of Life opened the way. In His dear
Name we come, confessing our sins, which are too numerous for us to mention,
and too grievous for us to understand; and seeking Thy gracious forgiveness and
Thy Spirit's power in our full restoration to Thy rich favor.
As we attempt in our weakness to lift our eyes to the
celestial sources of righteousness, may Thy merciful providences protect our
vision from the influence of the flesh, the allurements of the world, and the
illusions of the wicked one.
In all our thoughts, words, plans, impulses, and
associations let Thy gracious Spirit have control, that when the day is ended,
the memories that would otherwise bring remorse and bitter regret, may be
sanctified by a calm and holy peace.
Sanctify the world with Thy truth. Lead all human genius
with Thy light. Center and keep the affections of men upon Jesus Christ, our
Saviour, that the strength of nations may be set in alignment with the issues
of His Kingdom, to Whom we gladly ascribe glory, majesty, and power, for
evermore. Amen.
William E. Crouser, D.D.,
